DETAILS: More educated and empowered than ever before, today's job candidates have the ability to explore potential employers before deciding whether or not to apply. As a result, showcasing a company's mission and core values has become a key factor in attracting top talent. However, this goes far beyond offering free lunch, and requires that companies both understand and convey their brand in an accurate and authentic way.

During the inaugural Talent Acquisition Tech Conference, Alex Cavoulacos, co-founder and chief operating officer of The Muse, will explore the role of culture and authenticity in hiring and retaining passionate, diverse talent. Drawing on real life examples, Cavoulacos will explain exactly what culture and authenticity mean to some of the world's most recognizable brands and how these companies reflect this throughout the talent acquisition process. In addition, Cavoulacos will share how The Muse, as an employer, works to determine and communicate core values to prospective employees.

Conference attendees interested in learning how their organization can harness culture and authenticity to improve hiring outcomes are encouraged to attend this session. Details about the Talent Acquisition Tech Conference are available here: http://www.talenttechconf.com.
